Some people may consider this chick-lit (it does mention Prada shoes several times), but I think the integrity of the story trumps the target audience. It's fun read for an afternoon.

I've offered this book to Ri and am waiting to hear back from her.

I got this surprise in the mail today. Thanks so much, cliff1976 and MarahSulloy! Looks like Deutsche Post and Canada Post had no trouble with this one - only one week to arrive! Thanks again! 

Journal Entry 5 by Ri from Cincinnati, Ohio USA on Sunday, January 13, 2008

Well, the three years it took to get to this one was a bit excessive (sorry!), but I *finally* got around to reading this one! I'm glad that I did read it before releasing it though. It was a pleasant read, if a bit hard to stomach the actions of Mr and Mrs X! Having not really encountered this world at all, is this for real? I mean, I know there are people out of touch with their kids, but is it really this extreme? Are there people who actually occupy a world so vain and selfish as Mr and Mrs X do? Hideous, really. It does make me think of a certain famous "mom" who took off for Paris fashion week with a famous friend while her new baby was a tiny infant... I an only assume that a nanny took over completely during that time (probably not much of a change from normal day to day for them anyway!). Having an 8 month old myself, I couldn't imagine turning over his full-time care to someone else (though I do appreciate a long shower or hour with a friend here and there)!
